Ajmer became the epicenter of a health revolution as Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National HPV Vaccination Campaign on Saturday, targeting cervical cancer prevention. Five girls were vaccinated on-site, heralding a new era in public health.
The program aims to immunize 1.15 crore 14-year-old girls yearly through free doses at government clinics, a strategic blow against HPV-related diseases that claim countless lives.
PM Modi’s speech wove health with development, as he unveiled projects and appointed youth to jobs. ‘This HPV drive from Ajmer is pivotal for empowering our Nari Shakti,’ he proclaimed.
Evoking emotional resonance, Modi stressed maternal wellness: ‘An ailing mother destabilizes the family; a robust one fortifies it against storms.’
He contrasted eras, slamming pre-2014 apathy towards girls’ sanitation woes that spurred dropouts. ‘We turned mission mode on these sensitivities,’ Modi said of Swachh Bharat’s success.
Pioneering schemes like Rs 5,000 prenatal nutrition aid and smoke-free homes through Ujjwala exemplify governance rooted in care. ‘Power without sensitivity is hollow; ours is people-centric,’ the PM wrapped up, inspiring nationwide participation.
